6. Generate a new generation of children going to producing quality meat (beef cattle) and meningkatklan milk production in dairy cattle females.
7. Improved genetic quality becomes faster.
8. Farmers can choose types / breeds desirable. For example, cattle
Limousin, Simental, Tillers Ongole, Brahman, Brangus, FH, Bali and others).
9. Birth weight was higher than the result of natural mating. This is because the cement used comes from superior males.
10. The growing possibility the child's weight faster. since produced results from superior male perkawian.

AI implementation is successful when the parent AI animals do become pregnant. Period bunting / cow gestation period (gestation period) is the period of time from the moment of conception the sperm towards the egg until the child is born.
